“From being just a little “TYKE” to a natural born “SEAMAN” in AMERICA’s best NAVY – traveling around the world – and loving every minute of everything you are doing – – take TIME to enjoy your BIRTHDAY – TODAY!

These were the days, that you had so much FUN swimming and enjoying each bright sunny day in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This is the best smile – when you came HOME for the HOLIDAY LEAVE – that each man in the SERVICE for AMERICA – just loves – that special TIME, to be HOME with all the FAMILY – with all of your favorite foods and things to do – since it is HOLIDAY TIME and also your “BIRTHDAY” – what a great combination to have, the best of LIFE’s DREAMS – and a very young and good looking man in the NAVY! – So, I am calling you, “Mr. Lucky” – himself – and all wrapped up in one!

Just had to bake the biggest and sweetest of “BIRTHDAY CAKES” – and knowing that we will all be dancing around the dining room – with the biggest and best of cakes – with enough “candles” that will make it look like a big “Fire-Cracker” ready to take off , and then, ready to land into outer “SPACE” – just to let the whole wide world know that “TODAY” is “LEE ALDRICH – BIG – BIRTHDAY DAY ” and everyone is invited to help celebrate with us, all!

May our Almighty Creator, send to you, “LEE” all of HIS best of best BLESSINGS – today and for ever more! D.V.
